HE STOLE HER HEART AWAY.
" Here we must part"

A4OAO VO AAaoo 1nAos
As Beatrice *. Boggs spoke these
words tear stole down her rich,
hand painted cheek. Her demeanor,
queenly though it was, told of an in
ward sorrow that she could not hide.
By her side stood r. Archibald
F'laherty, man whose whole life
seemed bound in hers. Since child
hood they had played together. In
the middle of the same street they
had made mud pies together, in. the
same gutter they had bathed their
tender toes, and gayly had they
laughed as they studied the queer
foot prints in the plant sand. Yes,
those were happy days. The sun,
as it shone upon Beatrice and lett
three freckles on her nose, shone
also on Archibald. and left his
cheeks brown and dirty. But, what
cared they? Life was then all sun
shine. There were no cares and no
dim forebodings of days to come
when the Interstate Commerce bill
would pass and they would be com
PEELED to walk. But their lives ran
on as gently as the little brook
without - fish in it) run rip
ping to the sea, sparkling and
laughing at you and telling you the
old, old story, that the mill will
never grind again with the boiler
that has bust. School days passed
away all too quickly. AS they sat
together on the same bench OF the
old schoolhouse on Bentalou street
and looked out the western window,
the same charming scenes met their
eyes. Over to the north the broad
turrets of Wilkins hair factory met
their wondering gaze, while far
away in the distance they could see
vessels of a thousand climes borne
upon the broad bosom of Gwynn's
Falls. And as the good old teacher
stepped up behind them and hit
them both over the back with a rat
tan, they shed tears together and
wiped their eyes with the same
handkerchief. Then, when school
days were over, Archibald started
to make a mark il life, and as he
rose to the high position of master
of rolls in an Eden street bakery,
her thoughts were always with him.
But now a change had come over
her, and as he stepped to her side
yestere'en she spoke to him sadly
but firmly, using the words with
which this items opens.
Archibald could hardly believe he.

POETRY.
For the HERALD.
THE PRINTERS HlAWATHA.

Should you ask us why this dunning?
Why all these complaints and murmurs
Murmurs loud about delinquents,
Who have read the paper weekly.
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read the church affairs and prospects.
Read the news both home and foreign,
Full of wisdom and instruction,
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask US why this dunning?
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker,
From the landlord, from the devil,
Froaa the man who taxes letters,
With the stamp of Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him,
From them all there comes message,
Message kind and firmly spoken;
+" Please to pay the bill you owe us.
Sad it is to hear the message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last greenback has left us,
When the nickels all have vanished !;
Gone to pay the tOiling printer,
Gone to pay the paper maker,
Gone to pay the landlord g tribute.
Gone to pay the clerk and devil,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him.
Gone to pay for beef and Bridget,
Gone to pay the faithful parson.
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years of anxious labor,
Due despite of patient waiting,
Due despite of constant dunning.
Would you lift burden from us ?
Would you drive a spectre from you
Would you taste pleasant slumber 7
Would you have a quiet conscience?
Would you read paper paid for
Send us money Send us money!
Send us money Send us money!
Send the money that you owe us.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and undressing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs. when healthy,
crave food, the nervoussystem. when vigorous
and tranquil, gives its possessor no uneasiness
at night. A tonic, to be effective, should not
be a mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac-
ton of sedative or narcotic. What is re-
quired Is medicine which invigorates the
by the system, by which means the nervous
system, as well as other parts Of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are the
effects of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, a medi-
cine whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence, and which physicians COM
mend for its tonic, anti-biliouS and other
properties. 1t is used with the best results in
fever and ague, rheumatism. kidney and utter
inc weakness, and other maladies.

Tha Fate nf socfetx.

When we think Of the immense poten-
tialities and capabilities Of society, OF all
that it might accomplish, and behold the
monotony Of insipid folly, Of apelike
imitation, OF consummate hypocrisy in
which it is content to roll ON through
the course of the years, one cannot bat
feel that, II ito ultimate doom be to be
swallowed up and vomited forth again,
lifeless and shapeless, by the dragon Of
socialism, it viii have no more than its
due; that it win fan through it's own
sloth and vileness, as the empire Of Rome
fell under the hEdes Of the barbarians. -

A Rerolutlon In Heatlne.

Isaac Smead, of Toledo, o., has just
patented a scheme for heating that
promises to be revolutionary. Mr.. Smead
says that he can convert thirty cent
barrel Of crude oil into as much heat as Is
derived ordinarily from six tons of btu
minous coal. The principle Is simple. A
pan 10 to be constructed to take the place
Of CRATE bars in an ordinary furnace, UNI
der boilers and heating apparatus. In
this pan small quantity Of water Is al
lowed TO stand, the supply Of which Is
maintained through pipe. In the CEN
ter Of the pan small jet Of oil Is fur
nished from reservoir near by. The oil
spreads over the surface of the water and
Is consumed as fast as desired. Air Is
supplied from numerous orifices In the
pan above the water and oil line, and
when oil and air are supplied in proper
quantities the heat becomes intense, and
Tar surpasses the hottest furnace fired
with coal or gas. The smallest quantity
If oil Is required. Boston Transcript.

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.

There is a story in the June Wide
Aacake of a boy, the fifteen year old
son of a locomotive engineer, who
had often ridden with his father and
"knew the engine pooty WE'LL" In.
deed the engineer had frequently
let the boy" drive" on a long stretch
of straight track.
One night he left "Dave +" in
charge of the engine on siding,
while he went to supper as usual.
There came up furious W ind and,
after a little, some cars shot by with
out any engine. The wind had
started them. Boy, think quick !
Down grade! The Lightning Elk
press is to come that way!
Nobody near. No telegraph wire.
The trains are headed together.
There is less than an hour to catch
those runaway cars and pull them
out of the way. No time for hest.
tation He springs to the lever,
picks up speed and tears away with
grade and wind and steam like
whizzing arrow.
They are miles ahead. The rush
ing minutes are full of sudden com.
prehension. He almost sees through
the dark, tempestuous night. What
set him flying toward this plunge
was thought of the Lightning Elk.
press. Now danger takes hold of
him. What if he is just to late |!
The runaway train is in sight! Off
steam! No, on again! Let the
story.teller tell the rest.
He must slow up, but do it so
nicely that, when he does come up
with them. there shall be the least
possible shock for there is the hard
est part of the business. He has
nobody to help him "couple." He
must be, for the nonce, both engi-
neer and switchman. He had not
thought what formidable job this
was until it stared him in the face.

ton in his head and adjusting his

Here, selling the long coupler in
one hand and holding on with the
other, be stood watching with
breathless interest the approaching
collision. The suspense was agoniz-
ing. The situation was perilous. A
gust OF wind might sweep him from
his place, he might be shaken off or
crushed.
He was almost panic-stricken. A
dozen times he was at the point of
turning back. To his startled ears
the air was full of uncanny sounds
the sweep of another tornado, the
rush of the Lightning just ahead.
But he had in him the stuff which
heroes are made of. The hero, re-
member, is not he who is insensible
to danger, but rather he who feels
and realizes, but yet overcomes it.
The "Meteor I" drew nearer and
nearer the flying train. Dave had
used excellent Judgment in regula-
ting its speed; for at length it came
up with the rear car with scarcely a
shock, so that Dave could reach
over and drop in the pin.
Then clambering back into the
